In Zhangye, I found a place but once again (this time after an hour) I was asked to leave. I quickly found another place where I ended up staying 4 days as I discovered that I can only extend my visa a few days before the exiting visa expires leaving me 6 extra days (+2 days waiting for the visa). I spent the time reading, relaxing, watching old travel documentaries by Danish author and storyteller Troelds Kløvedal, updating my website etc. and only left the room to go shopping.
